Reviews and Ratings
The hotel provides a comfortable and stylish stay, though some room amenities could be improved. The service from staff was generally warm and helpful, with a minor inconvenience experienced. The location is excellent, offering security and convenience among vibrant surroundings. Dining options were varied, with a slight downside noted. Overall, good value for money with a few areas for enhancement.
I was delighted with my stay at this hotel. The rooms are beautifully furnished, spacious, and equipped with everything you might need, making my experience feel truly comfortable. The check-in process was smooth, and I loved the urban decor. However, the noise from downstairs was a slight inconvenience that affected my restful sleep.
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel with spacious and clean rooms, though they faced the back or side of the hotel. The service was top-notch, with friendly and informative staff. The location was perfect for my event and offered easy access to nearby attractions and dining options. The dining experience was efficient, but I preferred dining at a local café. The facilities were satisfactory, offering essential amenities for a comfortable stay.
My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The rooms were spacious, clean, and quiet, with a handy kitchen area included. The service was exceptional, with warm and friendly staff going the extra mile to make me feel welcome. The location was superb, walking distance to lovely restaurants, even though a refurbishment might be needed. The dining experience was enjoyable, especially at the cafe next door. Overall, a great value for money.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were very spacious and had a unique blend of pop art, vintage, and modern elements. However, the loud noise levels made it hard to rest well at night. The service was top-notch with a quick fix to any issues and the added bonus of allowing us to use a room after checkout for a refreshing shower before our flight. The location was perfect for my working weekend in Cape Town, surrounded by cool restaurants and cafes. The dining options were decent but located outside the hotel. Overall, a vibrant area to stay in with lively evenings but potential noise issues at the hotel.
